Ladies and gentlemen,

As we look back at the history of South Asia, we can see a


region that has undergone significant changes in the
transitional and modern era, particularly in the matter of
nationalism. The era of colonial rule had a profound impact
on the region, and it was during this time that the seeds of
nationalism were sown. The struggles for independence that
followed led to the formation of modern-day India, Pakistan,
and Bangladesh.
However, the story of South Asia's nationalism did not end
with independence. Instead, it continued to evolve and take
on new forms as the region grappled with the challenges of
the modern era. South Asian nations have had to navigate the
complexities of the post-colonial world, with its own set of
economic, political, and social challenges.
Today, South Asian countries are in the midst of rapid
modernization and growth. They are investing in
infrastructure, education, and technology, and striving to
create more inclusive and democratic societies. The rise of
digital communication and social media has also allowed for
greater civic engagement and participation, particularly
among the younger generations.
At the same time, the region has not been immune to the
challenges posed by rising populism and sectarianism.
Nationalist movements have gained traction in some areas,
often fueled by a sense of economic and social
disenfranchisement. But despite these challenges, the people
of South Asia continue to work towards building more just
and equitable societies.
In conclusion, the story of South Asia's nationalism is one of
continual evolution and adaptation. The region has undergone
significant changes in the transitional and modern era, and
continues to cultivate its unique identity and aspirations for
the future. As we move forward, we must continue to support
the region's efforts towards creating more inclusive and
prosperous societies for all its citizens.
I have noticed the current state of our country, for that reason
as a public speaker I feel like I have an obligation to open my
mouth and speak of the truth for the benefits of the masses,
and allow me to enumerate the following that needs to be
done that will make a difference and will make you truly a
hope of the country.
• Educate yourself and others about the issues: It's important
to stay informed about the current state of your country and
the challenges it faces. Read up on news articles and books,
attend seminars or discussions, and talk to people from
different backgrounds to gain a broader perspective.
• Volunteer or support organizations that promote peace and
security, human rights, and freedom: There are many NGOs,
advocacy groups, and grassroots movements that work
towards promoting these values. You can volunteer your time
or donate to support their initiatives.
• Be an active citizen: You can make a difference in your
community by participating in local events, engaging in
discussions and debates, and using your voice to raise
awareness about the issues that matter to you.
• Advocate for unity: Despite our differences, we are all part
of the same country, and we should work towards unity and
understanding. Speak out against hate speech and
discriminatory actions, and promote tolerance and respect for
diversity.
• Lead by example: Be a role model for others by
demonstrating the values of nationalism, such as respect for
the rule of law, love for the country, and a willingness to work
towards a better future for all.
Remember, it's important to work towards positive change in
a peaceful and constructive way. By taking action and
inspiring others to do the same, we can create a brighter
future for ourselves and our country. That's all, Thank you for
listening.
